Luck of the Irish? An article [link fixed] in The New Republic talks about Boston's reputation for racism (unwarranted that is). It notes that Boston has the lowest percentage of blacks and Latinos of the ten largest cities in the country. Coincidentally (?) Boston is rated the The Best City for Singles by Forbes. If you look closely at the list-you'll see it's really the "Best City for Secular White (maybe liberal) Singles." Now, this might be the biggest segment in the singles category-but the best city for black singles would probably be Atlanta, and Christian singles would probably pick some midwestern city.
